Been saying this for ages. Should have been sent to the glue factory last season.

I’m surprised nobody has raised the issue of players having to be on a pitch when a penalty is awarded to actually take it.
Personally, I’m really not comfortable with a club being allowed to use a sub specifically for the purpose of taking a penalty already awarded. It’s bordering on special teams tactics that I used to see in American Football when I followed it years ago.
By all means bring on a ‘keeper with a shootout on the horizon, or penalty takers for the same reason (notwithstanding the fact it doesn’t always pay off ?). But West Ham being awarded a penalty and being allowed to bring Noble on for him to take it just doesn’t sit right. It should be taken by a player who was on the pitch when the spot kick was actually awarded.

Would you day the same about corners, free kicks, throw ins and kick offs?

I've always been in the camp of the player who wins the pen should have to take it
There’s a bit of a difference, to be fair!
Whilst I get that some players are better at free kicks than others, I really do think there’s more at stake with penalties, which are absolutely clear cut scoring opportunities.
If I was a West Ham fan and I saw Bruno Fernandes trot on from the bench to grab a point from a 93rd minute penalty I’d be a tad miffed.

Please don’t ask to see my tatts 👍
The problem is, substitutions are made when play has stopped. throw ins, free kicks, corners and penalties.
I get that, Tash, but an oncoming substitute’s very first involvement should not, in my view, be to take a penalty just awarded.
Just my opinion.

Gotta say that West Ham v Utd game was a cracker. Both teams played well, Utd going forward and West Ham defending. Man Utd are such a better team with Ronaldo in it, he's ridiculous. Holds it up, great passing, movement and just runs the attack and gives them the focal point they've missed for years. He should've scored a few more today though.
The penalty decisions were horrible in that game. He was fouled twice and nothing given, not even a review. The second was stonewall. Shaw's handball was the right decision but amazing it wasn't given at the time. VAR and the ref lost control and it looked like due to their mistakes, they might ignore the handball to "even things up" at the end.
Get rid of it, simple as that.

Sentiment? I think the issue might've been nobody else in your side can take a penalty. Still an awful decision though, when will managers learn it's not easy to walk onto a pitch stone cold and bury a penalty with your first kick?

Na it was sentiment, last min in his last season
We have had pens before and he hasn't come on
Rice can take them
Soucek has a brilliant record
Yarmeleko aswell
Noble was pure get him on and give him a goal

No real need to make a rule for it when it basically never works! We saw at the Euros and we've seen it before with Vardy against Spurs a while back.

The interviewer I just saw said that you'd missed 4 of your last 5 or something, but Moyes claimed he wasn't thinking about that, just Noble's record of scoring them. ??

Moyes is covering his own mistake
We have had misses since going with sentiment
Antonio for getting him up the scoring charts (too laid back. Awful pen taker)
Rice to give him more goals (not a natural taker)
Soucek in the squad has a very good record .. just never given the chance for us.
Even cresswell would leather it
